Is having an Android really a deal-breaker for some people?
I asked if people chose iPhone for the blue bubbles elsewhere a couple days ago, and while there was some good discourse on that post, the blue bubbles definitely also came up as a reason.
In my experience, when people find out my texts are green, they oftentimes would rather switch to a different platform altogether like Instagram or just not text at all.
Is this actually a deal-breaker in friendships out there?
You're viewing a single thread.
Absolutely definitely yes.
In high school and continuing into university, everyone would play the iMessage/Snapchat games that only work with iOS. The few Android users, including me, were 2nd class citizens.
Using Android has absolutely cost me several potential friendships and looking back I genuinely should've spent the money and bought the inferior iPhone.
No, you should not have. Those "friends" did you a favor by showing you how shallow they were.
This is literally 80% of people in my high school and 60% of people at my university though. It's insane how pervasive Apple has become.
90-95% of people at my high school had iPhones, and 85-90% do at my university. 50% of people have AirPods for both cases. And these numbers are only trending upwards. Apple is unstoppable.
If they didn't want to be friends with you because you couldn't play pool through a texting app, they weren't worth being friends with in the first place.
God this is absolutely crazy that friendships go this way these days, I feel old.

Why would you want to have people like that as friends?
If anything, I use that as information. If trash doesn't take itself out, you have information to do it yourself.
